Org-mode has proven tremendously useful in writing musical analyses, but it would also be nice to provide musical examples in plain text.
Is there anything like this available? If not, I may try to do it myself. I'm finally getting my act together and finishing the Emacs Lisp Intro; but any help pointing me to the right examples, or the right conceptual frameworks would be much appreciate. Here is more or less what I would want: ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Pretend that is the staff. The user places the cursor on the staff, and therefore enters "note entry mode." The "note-entry" function is passed three args: one for the note, two for the rhythmic value. So if the user presses "F," "F" is passed as the first argument; if the user enters "8", "8" is passed as the second argument; if the user enters ".", "." is passed as the third argument. This produces a dotted 8th F note on the staff. The third argument is optional (since not all rhythmic values are dotted), and its value is nil by default. Anyway, that is a draft of what I would want. May already exist with slightly different functionality.
